‘A True Grade 1 Talent’

On the heels of an 8 1/2 length debut maiden romp which earned Loggins TDN Rising Star Status, his next start was at Keeneland in the Grade 1 Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity. Against eventual Eclipse Champion Juvenile Forte, who came into the race off a three length win in the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga, it was the maiden winner Loggins who was sent off the less than even money favorite with Grade 1 winner Forte sent postward at 4 to 1. The chart for the race read: “battled gamely while being put to tight quarters by that foe (Forte) in the final furlong, took a brush at the sixteenth pole then tenaciously sustained the war through the late stages.” A long inquiry ensued, though the stewards ultimately made no change to the order of finish.
